On this episode of Hostile History, David Borys is joined
by historian Cord Scott to explore how the world wars became a
catalyst for the mass production of comic books. While the First
World War saw their introduction as comic strips, the success of
these ‘strips’ resulted in a comic book boom in the inter-war
period. Superheroes like Batman and Superman were the result,
making their debut in the late 1930s. When the Second World War
broke out comic books were mobilized for the war effort. Even
before the United States entered the war superheroes like Captain
America were already gracing the pages of comic books both in the
United States and all over the world. Guest: Cord Scott
